Florida State now No. 1 on two recruiting boards; had best group of offensive and defensive linemen in nation

Florida State’s recruiting class was so good that the Seminoles moved to No. 1 over the weekend on one web site – without doing anything.

Of course, it had nothing to do with FSU but everything to do with one of the top offensive line prospects signing with Alabama after announcing on Wednesday that he was headed to Auburn.
Cyrus Kouandijio’s flip pushed the Seminoles ahead of Auburn on Scout.com, giving the Seminoles the best class in the nation according to Scout along with ESPN. FSU remains No. 2 on Rivals.

More movement is expected in the next week or so when DE Jadeveon Clowney, the top-ranked prospect in the nation on many boards, finally makes his decision. Clowney is down to Alabama, South Carolina and Clemson.

The top three on each board right now:

Rivals: 1. Alabama, 2. FSU, 3. Texas.

ESPN: 1. FSU, 2. Alabama, 3. Auburn.

Scout: 1. FSU, 2. Auburn, 3. Ohio State.

Rivals rankings has FSU with the No. 1 class at three positions – RB, OL and DT and Scout has the Seminoles No. 1 group at OL and DL. (It appears Jimbo Fisher accomplished his goal of strengthening both line.)
